Louisiana approves four blue ammonia plants in Cancer Alley, sparking health and environmental concerns despite claims of high carbon capture and job creation.
Louisiana is moving forward with four blue ammonia plants in Cancer Alley, a heavily polluted region along the Mississippi River, despite concerns over air quality and public health.
Proponents tout the projects as job creators and climate solutions, claiming up to 99% carbon capture, but no global precedent supports such high capture rates.
Permit data show the plants could emit over 2,800 tons of air pollutants annually, including more than 400 tons of ammonia.
Residents fear further harm to already burdened communities, while critics question the environmental and economic benefits, noting the process still relies on fossil fuels and may not deliver promised climate gains.
